I am an operator for K2I in NJ. Hope to work some of you. This will be the first time doing the event with my Flex. However, I'm running low power since I don't have an amp. BUT I will have the MonstIR back up.

See you on the air - Hopefully you will share contacts with the Radio Amateurs Canada (RAC) Canada Day contest - All July 1 00:00 - 23:59 Z.The BC host station (VE7RAC) will have my 6700 on CW - But we will be running an amp to get through the East Coast QRM.Then after FD and Canada Day my signature edition is looking forward to V2

GB13COL will be operating and looking forward to making as many contacts as possible over the event. I've personally operated my Flex 6500 from the club station here in Durham as I think its a fantastic radio on a crowded band. Hoping to add 2 stations on a HF band simultaneous with mine as remote with my Maestro, but only if V2.0 is available and installed by Saturday.

So come on FlexRadio release it soooon.

If not, i'm sure it will be a fun 2017 13 Colonies Special Event.... Good luck to all participating this year! Ray de G0VLF

13 Colonies is a great event. If you have an opportunity to be an operator, go for it. It's one of the few times you can be on the receiving end of a huge pile-up at your home QTH here in the States. I made 4,200 Q's last year as an operator for K2K in NH.

Just finished working the 13 colonies event. My first time. Got a clean sweep and WM3PEN. Still
trying to work GB13COL before time runs out. My 6500 performed flawlessly ( no amp required ).
I sure would miss that pan adapter. Thank FRS.

The 13 Colonies Special Event was a great event yet again. I certainly enjoyed using my Flex 6500 for the event as the manager of GB13COL. You can view a band in micro seconds and decided whether to work splits or not. Plus you can find a vacant spot quickly. The interest in SDR within my club has been fantastic.

I had Saturday to work the event. Had to work the rest of the week (swing shift) so by the time I got home from work everybody was QRT on the east coast. Got a clean sweep last year and didn't send in for the certificate. Now wish I had it is a nice certificate. Oh well will try again next year!
